Heritage Open Days 2025

We had a great time welcoming visitors to the College on 13th September for our annual Heritage Open Days programme. Heritage Open Days is England’s largest festival of history and culture, where museums and historic sites open to visitors for free, giving the public the chance to see hidden places and try new experiences.

CRAFT ACTIVITIES AND SCIENCE TENT

Following its success last year, we put together a science activity for children to enjoy. Members of our science department as well as some of our pupils were on hand to help visitors with science experiments and deliver demonstrations.

We also hosted family-friendly craft sessions inspired by our Treasury collections, including zebra bookmarks, monkey masks and origami boxes!

In addition to our family-friendly crafts and acivities, we also enjoyed welcoming guests on free tours of our Archives, Fellows’ Library and War Cloister.

If you missed out, don’t worry – we still have lots of other tours coming up soon!
